CHINESE New Year has been and gone, and with it, the Year of the Tiger has been heralded in.

In Newport and the surrounding Gwent area, it isn’t widely celebrated, admittedly.

But, with a small Chinese community dotted around parts of the region, and certainly further afield in bigger cities such as Cardiff, celebrations have taken place.

Here in the Western world, the occasion is at times celebrated in the form of ordering a Chinese takeaway – and in this department, Newport excels.

The city is home to a variety of restaurants and takeaways offering delicious Chinese food.

But, it can at times be tricky to decide where to order from – before you even get close to pondering what menu items to select.

Helpfully, here at the Argus, we’ve got you covered.

With a little help from TripAdvisor, we’ve put together a list of the five highest rated Chinese takeaways in Newport, which will hopefully make ordering a little bit easier for you.
